Dynasty Warrior games are ass, but they're sooooooooooo much fun playing local co-op with a friend. So many fond memories...

DESTROY THE BASE

Eff Nintendo; I'm not getting a WiiU and 3DS until this is reversed, Smash WiiU and 3DS or no Smash WiiU and 3DS.

No really, screw them, screw Iwata, and screw all of their crappy executives who did this.

I'm certain that if Sakurai gets a whiff of this, it will piss him the hell off.

NoA is just upset there is more excitement for a decade old game being at an event than the Wii U. Wii U cannot even draw the amount of people attending EVO for Melee into a store let alone garner a healthy base.

I'm laughing so hard at all the people who are refusing to buy a Wii U now and such.
I said I'd do it, and I'm sticking to it until we can stream smash... or I'll result to pirating all that crap from Nintendo, making sure they don't make a nickel.

This is Melee's ONE CHANCE to get Smash BACK INTO THE FIGHTING GAME COMMUNITY FOR GOOD and Nintendo IS BLOWING IT FOR US COMPETITIVE PLAYERS!!!! THIS IS POSSIBLY MELEE'S LAST CHANCE TO MAKE IT BIG COMPETITIVE!!!

After this, if we lose, which Competitive Melee seems destined to do, the Fighting Game community, as well as probably ALL OF THE COMPETITIVE GAMING COMMUNITY (MLG [again] included) will be forced to avoid Smash WiiU and 3DS competitively, avoid Brawl (again, like what happened with MLG), all of the mods for each smash game, as well as continuing to avoid Melee.

Literally, this could be the death of Smash Bros. competitive gaming livestreams and tournament livestreams, and it is sick and disgusting. I'd rather never play Smash WiiU and 3DS than have to deal with this stupid crap.

This was OUR MOMENT for US COMPETITIVE SMASHERS to put our product out there,
to prove we had a great community who would watch the livestreams,
and for us to prove that Melee Never Dies, and that hey, maybe Brawl and Project M, and Smash 64 deserve a bit of the spotlight in competitive gaming too.

But nah, Nintendo of America had to wreck this crap! They shot it all to hell! WELL TAH HELLLLLLL WITH THATTTT!!!!!

I'm still going to buy their stuff because they make good games and I don't stay butthurt for more than a couple minutes.

Inb4 a good portion of the angry people buy a Wii U for Smash.
Used maybe, but not new. Nintendo ain't making a dime off me until this point is reversed. I can live with a PS4, PS3, and Xbox 360 until then. When I say I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna freaking do it. Nothing ever stops me when I put my mind to it... BECAUSE I AM THE GREAT ONE, SON!!!!
It's not even the matter of PW's multiplayer being better; in PW, multiplayer is a must. The game can technically be played through all alone, but at one point in the game, you pretty much need coop, because if not, it's nearly impossible and unfair.
Even if you're some wizard and manage to beat it by yourself, you still miss out on a lot of the experience because you never played coop.

That's why PW is my least favorite of the MGS games (other than Portable Ops). If it wasn't so multiplayer dependent, I would say it's just as good as MGS1, 2, 3, and 4.
Huh, that's strange. I don't really mind that so much in a game (although I wish games like that had it more of an option, just like how multiplayer and co-op works in either say Borderlands or say Left 4 Dead), but once the online goes down, oh man oh man, that sucks in Japan.

"Boycotting" Nintendo won't do much in the long run. People will still buy the WiiU and Smash. It'll all just be in vain, and just leave you without their products.

Such a ****ing overreaction. It's literally the biggest bunch of cry babies I've ever seen.

Pretty much this. I WOULD have been mad if it wasn't for the fact that these types of things are quickly forgotten. The gaming community should be used to **** moves like this.

Pretty much a prime opportunity to use social media to get this turned around. Seriously, is Nintendo allergic to free publicity?

Ten bucks Chu-Chu's going to use this to support anti-competitive arguments.

This.
Spam their twitters though. Makes for fun for me~
I only had a twitter account for college reasons, but now I'm going to use it to follow current things.

Even seeing comments that Smash 4 is going to be **** because of this.

Yes, because the ability to stream a 12 year old game effects the quality of a new software.

If you legitimately don't buy Smash 4 or a 3DS/Wii U because of this I don't look up to you. I look down on you, because you're acting like a fricking child.

To be honest, it's an appropriate immediate reaction to what NoA did.
People have been looking forward to it and then Nintendo just rips the streams away.
I, for one, never cared about Evo before any of this (never payed attention to it, didn't know anything about it). But this is a bit infuriating.

Nintendo. Ugh. This is like getting punched in the face by your years-long girlfriend.

So, people shouldn't do anything about this? They should support ****ty policies AND censorship?

No offense, man, but **** you. That's ridiculous.

You might be surprised at the possible implications behind this. This and the whole MLG thing pretty much says that they don't want the tournaments to be exposed yet they completely support Pokemon tournaments. In fact, I believe they just had a big one just recently.

Really, what does Nintendo gain from this, or more importantly, what would they have lost from letting the stream happening?

Shut the hell up noob. No really, shut up. You don't define us; we do. Now go back to your cave small man.

This is OUR LAST FREAKING CHANCE to get MELEE AT THE BIG SHOW (EVO!!!), AND NINTENDO KILLED IT!!!

Nintendo's WiiU is barely standing, and quite frankly, they just lost another customer until this is reversed. They are being anti-consumers, anti-gamers, and anti-their fans. I've spent well over a thousand dollars on Nintendo stuff; well, until this is reversed, NO FREAKING MORE!!!

The WiiU might get GameCube'd/Saturn'd this generation. You really think given that situation that Nintendo is wise to start this now=???

Right because calling someone a noob (this is the dumbest word in the history of the internet btw) and a small man and telling them to go **** themselves proves you're not overreacting at all.

I'm coming back when people start posting with sense again because right now all I see are people crying in overreaction at the ability to not stream. It's not like they said you can't play Smash competitively and cancelled the damn matches all together :facepalm: .

I'm not going to say I won't buy a Wii U, because I will.
I'm not going to say I'm going to disown Nintendo, because I won't. I know better.

But I will punch them a bit if I have to.

Sent a short message via their webform. I don't have a twitter, but I'm considering making one.

Also, try to keep your messages from being too negative guys. The last thing we want to do is reflect negatively on the Smash community.

Anyway, does this just affect the livestream? Or are they banning videos from being uploaded to Youtube afterwards as well?

Neither of these games will be as good as Melee, at least competitively, sorry.

And quite frankly, what's top stop Nintendo from banning Smash WiiU and 3DS videos on youtube, Smash WiiU and 3DS livestreams, and pretty much even this site=??? On top of that, I'm pretty sure this is illegal; they don't have the authority to do that; and if they do, it doesn't cover several nations.

Oh, and maybe this is just a gateway to Nintendo imposing DRM for used game, as well as ban, block, and prevent all forms of modding. Yeah, I bet you'd like that. ;)

I don't care about people who aren't worthy of being crapped on by me. I have the right to spend MY HARD EARNED MONEY WHEREVER I WANT, and I have a right to tell someone to shut up when they tell me I'm an idiot for not spending my money here or there or anywhere, because not just am I am the Champ, I AM THE GREATEST!!!

I really hope they don't pull this **** with future Smash streams. This is just heartbreaking.

Stopping the MLG stream got Brawl kicked off the MLG scene, which did "cancel the damn matches all together" as you say. So yeah, there's that.

Maybe if you knew anything about what was being discussed, you would know that by now. But you don't, and yet you sit here calling us ignorant.

If we don't stop this now, there may never be a smash stream or Nintendo game stream that isn't blocked in America without Nintendo ads... unless we legally defeat it.

We gotta stop this slippery slope for Nintendo now, before it gets worse, and it not just kills Melee's hopes of being a mainstay competitive fighting game tournament event, but save the smaller tournament livestream and casual youtube video uploads for this and all other smash bros. games as well!

Right. This is like saying "oh sure we'll let our team play in the superbowl, we just won't let anybody who doesn't go their personally watch it live."

Pretty sure streaming is how EVO makes a lot of its money, so yeah, this IS a big deal.
If you guys want to be angry at something, be angry at this.

https://www.facebook.com/questions/10151576423299285/
Yeah, because I'd much rather get mad at people having ****ty tastes or troll voting that at at Nintendo basically telling a whole bunch of their fans telling them that all the work that they put into getting Smash into EVO was for nothing.

Honestly, I don't get how you can not be mad, especially after finding out (if you didn't already know) that over $90k was raised in a fund for breast cancer research in support of Melee being in EVO.
They got the game there, and now they can't see it. It's worth being upset about.

Guys, while you have every right to be upset, turning on each other isn't going to solve anything.

You want it to change, do something about it and go to twitter, facebook, etc.

Regardless of what side you are on. CALM THE FUQ DOWN! This is ridiculous. This isn't going to be fixed by panicking and insulting each other. It's gonna take a calm mind and clear judgement.

Now why exactly did Nintendo stop the stream? What's the reason? If we can figure that out, we can get somewhere.

Apparently. Also, Nintendo is trying to be what Microsoft was until they reversed their dumb DRM policies on the Xbox One.

Also, Game Trailer, Joystik, IGN, and 2 or 3 other big name gaming industry media outlets already got this story, and are rolling this.
Ten bucks Chu-Chu's going to use this to support anti-competitive arguments.
If anyone in the BRoom starts that, I will start a BRoom thread stating they should be booted from the BRoom, or that I and anyone who disagrees with them will leave. I am not crapping you.

Whining and overreacting won't achieve anything. Insults and other such childish behavior won't lead you anywhere and prove to be nothing but a waste of time.

All you can do is to contact with Nintendo of America, but keep it civil. The worst that can happen is that streams still won't be allowed and if that's the case, there's nothing you can do about it.

That's all I can say about this... and it's nothing but the truth.
